LATEST THEORIES

Heller said that RJ is like Waldo, he is always in the backround.......Ron is ALWAYS in the backound.

Ron 
John 
Red Ron
Red John

As the season go on i think we will keep seeing the man we call Red John, if Ron starts to talk more than he has to be RJ. I mean he's got to be walking around in the backround all the time for some reason. i also think that Robert Kirkland works for RJ because of the ending of the last episode!!!

Hi Guys, 

Honestly, I have still no idear who Red John is. Although I have some theories. I believe that it isn't Jane or any of his team, (meaning Lisbon, Grace, Rigsby or Cho)

What do I believe?
I believe that Theressa has met Red John at here pokergames with Bethram. I also believe that Bethram knows Red John (not being aware of it) and that they met in that Pokerclub of theirs. Same place where Theresa met Red John.

I understands(includes) how his(her,its) it make that in the last episode of seasons 3 when the PJ brings bertram to the shopping mall rj he(it) was in run(roam) nevertheless bertram he(it) was innocent and nobody did not know that he(it) goes to the shopping mall there is really a problem in the episode to look well at the episode 24 season 3 and you are going to understand(include)

Well,im no expert nor have i seen this show from the very beginning,thus i do not have all the facts at my disposal. However i have watched from season 4 and i have come to the conclusion that lisbon is either Red john or is in some way involved with him/her. The latter is the most probable case becasue she does work really close with patrick and he trusts her. Hence she is Red john's most probable informant.

But i may be horribly wrong............ who knows?

Here's my theory about RJ. I am damn sure that RJ is going to be PJ himself or PJ's brother.  
 
1. Their voice is similar. Watch this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUikVzxQuuY
 
2. Red john smiley resembles with PJ's face.  
 
3. Morale behind 'Tiger Tiger burning bright' poem as said by Cho in Season 3 last episode: Good thing can't exist alone. You can't have life without darkness.
 
"Tiger, tiger, burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry?"
 
Hence, words "tiger tiger" or "symmetry" suggest that RJ can be the dark side of PJ or it can be PJ's brother of almost same age, same intelligence, same psychic nature but having darker side.
 
Hence, RJ is either PJ having a hidden dark side or someone like his brother who is as clever as PJ but has dark side associated with him.
 
But as Lorelie said, they have shaken hands. As one cannot shook hand with himself, I think its gonna be PJ's brother.

Great episode and final scene the other night. I know all the RK accusers will think it proves it's their guy but I'm not so sure! I did think when he showed up his story line was going to take a different direction altogether so I was surprised he killed the guy. However Lennon worked for RJ (he brought LMs sister to him) so for RK to be RJ you wold have had to take the plastic surgery route away the whole do you recognized me speech. That's fun and all but your gonna tell me that between the time RJ and Lennon worked together, a few years ago, this guy got plastic surgery and still rose to the level of homeland security position??? If Lennon knew him as RJ he woulda freaked out right there.

Hey it's tv so who knows but what I've taken away form RK showing up is mainly in the last two episodes,,
1) his little conversation with Bertram about trusting Lisbon. This still says to me they (Bertram prob unknowingly, cause he's not to bright) are protecting somebody higher, a judge or AG. And
2) when he says "I'm a friend" to Lennon. Remember when Stiles told PJ where Christina was hidden? He told PJ to consider it a gift from "a friend". So this friend is either RK's strange personal moniker or it's how people that do RJs bidding code themselves. Like the mafia uses "friend of ours"

RK is clearly on PJs radar now and that's gonna be the trail till the seasons end. With at least the next 2 years pick up and the actor just being a guest star you not going to get the RK is RJ bow tied up real quick......then again I to tv!!

Ok to those who think that the tap on Jane's shoulder triggered something...its possible!! Remember when Jane was confronted by the man in the mask (cheap imitations of my work guy) he said to Jane "roll tide" and tapped the exact same shoulder. However an argument against kirkland belong rj or a follower is maybe he was once part of the cult maybe in the earlier years (red barn farm) and he left for what ever reason and wants to find rj for what ever reason but he asked "you ever seen me before" out of curiosity to know if he recognises him from the younger years.....as for cho ....I just have this image of cho in one episode smiling and laughing at Jane ...then the show ends ...no evidence just a hunch ...thanks guys!
